can NOT be successfulIv defended II is true
C;oyernor Foraker. in his Toledo speech, at-
tennis to give some answers but they are
neither excuses or defenses One of his propo-
sitions Is that his administration has paid of
ssT5 600 of the public funded debt of the State
While this is true he increased the funded debt
by borrowing $500 OOo, so that in fact the public
funded indebtedness of the State has been de-
creased only s375OOO since his administration
began While under Houdly's administration
there was paid upon the bonded indebtedness
rnnod n o,oor s,o,.ir,, u, ,a,,or ~ a n.mocrotic

His second answer in substance is. TINT even II
the expenscs of the State were large since he
has been in office. the expenses of running
Hoadly's administration were large also.
He fails to mention the fact that during Gov
ernor Boadly's term of office the General AS
sembly were called upon to make an unusual
number of extraordinary appropriations by ren-
son of Hoods riots. the building of the new
ASYLUM for the insane at Toledo. the additions
To the Athens nsvIum the establishment OF the
new Intermediate Peniten tinry. etc. These ex-
trnordinnry approximations amounted the first
yenr to S3t2 5fH !; AID the second wear to 1852 :
Gss 49, But IL we leave out of the account all
buildings and improyements of every kind and
the very large amounts cxpendcd in that way
and consider only The appropriations made for
riots. floods and storrs we have the following
amounts expended for such purposes alone:

Total....... ....................siSS,4 419 So
Governor Foraker will not saw that single
appropriated or that he now objects to a single
dollar of it being applied rs it was. The total
appropriations for all purposes made during the
two yeurs of Hoadly's administration after de-
ductiny the above items amounts to tho sum of
S. g34 4;0 while those made by Governor Fora.
ker's administration amount to the sum of
s6 113 3O6; which shows that this present Re.
publican administration will cost the people of
Ohio the sum of Sl3S, ,S67 more than preceding
Democratic administrations Besides there
was over a half million of dollars invested in
permanent buildings and improvements for the
benefit of the people of the State.
STATE INSTITUTIONS
Another proposition is that he claimed to
have made a better showing in some of the
State institutions than Governor Hoadly did.
and he especially refers to the Ohio penitenti-
airy. At the commencement of Governor Hoad.
ly's term of Office his administration was com.
PEELED to make an entire change in the manage.
ment of the penitentiury by the law which was
pissed by the General Assembly. abolishinp the
'scontract system" and recurring all contracts
to be made for the product of labor instead OF
the labor ITSELF This law was passed by the
demands of both parties, and while Governor
Hoadly was in office 1t was faithfully executed
Large numbers of the conyicts were com.
PEELED to remain idle until such contracts ms
were required by the law could be made. There
were also large and expensive improvements
made at the penitentiary of various kinds and
also considerable sums of money expended In
the purchase of machinery in order to employ
convicts in manufacturing supplies for the State
CONTRACT LABOR.
Under the present administration tins law
which was passed mt the demands of and in tho
interest of the laboripg men of Ohio is disrc
garded and convict labor is now being contrac
ted for almost substantially us before the pas.
sage of the law. and prison labor is again in
